She discovered that each floating island not only had a Spiritual Energy Gathering Array, but also integrated an attack and defence array, isolating all Divine Sense and sonic waves outside.
“You mean that only the top ten people on the Inner Sect’s contribution points can buy usage time of floating islands?”
Zi Che Shi smiled and shook his head: “All Inner Sect Pupils can buy the usage time of floating islands, but the contribution points spent is extremely astonishing. Some people have calculated that only the top ten pupils in the rankings can afford it.”
“How long can I buy some living time with one hundred thousand contribution points?” Lou Mu Yan asked after thinking for a bit.
“A month or so.” Zi Che Shi said with a bitter smile: “You obtained one hundred thousand Sect contribution points for killing Shen Mu Feng. Although you’re ranked first in the Outer Sect, but you might not even rank in the top hundred in the Inner Sect.”
Lou Mu Yan furrowed her brows, “Only a month? What a fraud.”
Spending one hundred thousand contribution points to live on a floating island for a month felt like a luxury now. No wonder only the top ten have the ability to buy time.
She used to think that her Sect contribution points was quite high, but who knew that after Zi Che Shi said that, it didn’t seem that high at all!
“All the consumptions in the Inner Sect require contribution points. Usually, the resources issued by the Sect aren’t enough to be used. If there’s no contribution points, it’s impossible to do anything in the Inner Sect.”
Zi Che Shi explained.
“The contribution points for killing a Sword Saint can only equate to one month of time on a floating island. So how do other people obtain contribution points?” Lou Mu Yan was speechless.
“Although the Sect has issued wanted orders, but they don’t encourage pupils in the Sect to do wanted missions. After all, those on the wanted list are not only powerful but also very ruthless, so the contribution points reward is relatively disproportionate to the risk of the reward.” Zi Che Shi said.
Seeing a bit of confusion in her eyes, Zi Che Shi continued to explain: “Each pupil of the Inner Sect is an outstanding genius on Tian’ling Continent. The Sect doesn’t want those elite pupils to be lost in the hands of the wanted just for training. The other training missions are also very dangerous, but the nature of those are different.”
Lou Mu Yan nodded: “Understandable.”
If the Sect went to so much trouble to raise a peerless genius with their resources, but they all died thanks to those wanted criminals in a mission, then how much of a loss that’d be!
“Actually, I don’t know the specific method of earning contribution points in the Inner Sect. I only know that if you want better and high-quality cultivation environments and resources, then you must first work hard to earn contribution points.” Zi Che Shi sighed and said: “The competition in the Inner Sect isn’t at the same level as those in the Outer Sect.”
“Exchange with contribution points? Interesting.” Lou Mu Yan hooked the corner of her lips.
No matter where, one couldn’t gain benefits without working hard for it. The Sect couldn’t possibly blindly give. It was more interesting and challenging for her to strive for everything by herself.
Zi Che Shi’s lips twitched violently. What seemed extremely hard and bitter to them turned out to be interesting to her…
The Tiger-Faced Eagle Beast took them to the entrance of the main hall in the central area, then flew away.
A pupil outside the door saw the two coming down from above and walked over with a smile.
“Are Junior Brother and Junior Sister here to report to the Inner Sect?”
“Mm. We were ordered to report today.” Zi Che Shi handed over the welcome token for the two of them.
After the pupil checked it, there was a bit of surprise in his eyes. He raised his head and looked at the two of them again with an even deeper smile on his face, “Junior Brother, Junior Sister, come with me.”
After taking Lou Mu Yan and Zi Che Shi to the management office of the main hall, he left.
“I’m Steward Wang at the Inner Sect Registration Office. Give me your original identity tokens.” Steward Wang looked at the two with a kind smile and said.
After the two handed the identity tokens over, Steward Wang put them away, then took out two new jade tokens for them, then said: “Imprint your own essence on this. This is your new pass to the Inner Sect in the future, you must keep it well.”
After receiving the identity jade token, Steward Wang took the two to the resource management office to receive an interspatial ring each, which contained the uniform of the Inner Sect and some resources for newly promoted Inner Sect Pupils.
“Each Inner Sect Pupil has individual residences. Core Pupils can also open a cave in a fixed Spiritual Mountain by themselves.
“Because the two of you are going to the Pagodas of Enlightenment tomorrow, you can temporarily live here today. After you come out of the Pagoda of Enlightenment, there will naturally be someone who will arrange your accommodations.” Steward Wang took the two to a side hall where they lived exclusively.
“Yes, thank you Steward Wang.” The two replied with a smile.
After Steward Wang left, Lou Mu Yan and Zi Che Shi greeted each other and went back to their rooms to rest.
“The Spiritual Force here is so dense.” Bing Ji jumped from her shoulder to the table, picked up a teapot and poured himself a glass of water, then said with dislike: “This Spiritual Water is good, but the Spiritual Tea sure is bad.”
Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him, “It’s already good that they even offer it.”
The tea leaves she used to brew tea was all top-grade Spiritual Tea that guy Ming Xiu gifted before separating. Not many people on this Continent could afford it, and one couldn’t buy it even if they had Spiritual Stones. Compared to the Spiritual Tea of the Sect, it was like Heaven and earth.
“I heard that you can’t bring Spirit Pets to the Pagodas of Enlightenment together. You should all stay here and cultivate well.”
Lou Mu Yan glanced at Bing Ji, “You’ve already reached Peak-Phase Tier 8, I’ll give you a few pills in a bit, you should quickly breakthrough during this time.”
Although it’s difficult to breakthrough to Tier 9 Demonic Beast, but Bing Ji’s innate Divine Beast talent determined that he wouldn’t have a huge bottleneck when advancing to Tier 9 like other Demonic Beasts.
“Alright, Little Owner, don’t worry, I’ve already sensed a sliver of opportunity to breakthrough.” Bing Ji had been cultivating pretty hard recently, mainly because Miao Miao and Xue were now on the same Tier as him and he felt it was very embarrassing.
“Work hard.” Lou Mu Yan smiled meaningfully at him, then poked Mo Yan and said: “During my absence, watch them closely and don’t go out to cause trouble.”
“Mm. Let’s put your pendant here too. The Pagodas of Enlightenment should have a high-level array that scans automatically. Jun Luo Chen will most likely be discovered if he follows you in.” Mo Yan thought for a while and said.
Lou Mu Yan took the pendant off her neck and tossed it to Mo Yan like some hot potato. If the superiors of the Sect knew that she had been raising a Devil Race, they’d definitely skin her.
“It’s honestly really dangerous to carry this Devil Lord around.”
Jun Luo Chen was a ticking hidden danger. She really didn’t know if it was good or bad to keep him to cooperate with. He sure was troublesome.
Mo Yan waved his paw in dislike and the pendant fell around Bing Ji’s neck, “I don’t like the aura on him.”
There were frequent wars between the Devil Realm and the Demon Realm, and he didn’t like that Dark Evil Aura that the Devil Lord Jun Luo Chen carried.
Jun Luo Chen, who was being disliked by the one person and one beast twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly. There was also a day where he, a dignified Devil Realm’s Devil Lord would also be this disliked by a human and Demon…
